87: The bottom of the cliff lake where the cuckoo took over the nest

They just wanted to use him to gain popularity, after all, the popularity of his recent videos brought him a huge amount of traffic.

His follower count has now exceeded 6 million, more than doubling in a single day!

He ignored all the contract invitations; there was no way he would rely on others for money, at least not anymore.

Then, he chose some of the encouraging and praising private messages to reply to and express his gratitude.

He ignored all collaboration invitations from influencer types.

As for the invitations from celebrities, he took a quick look, but because he didn't have time recently, he wouldn't reply.

He just wanted to know who sent invitations, satisfying his own curiosity.

After a brief look, he found that some were private messages sent by the celebrities themselves, and some were sent by the celebrities' agents.

He was in a good mood after reading these private messages.

Because he received a private message from a male Singer he really liked, the general meaning was inviting him to sing together.

And this male Singer was the original Singer of the song 'Ordinary People' that he covered—Maomao.

Seeing the private message, he even wanted to reply immediately and accept the invitation, but reason still triumphed over impulse.

He still didn't reply to anyone, the only reply he made was to the private message from his favorite female Singer when he sang the first song, he replied that he would consider it.

He decided to wait and make detailed plans after he returned from his trip down south.

He exited the short video APP, opened Soda Music, and played a song fitting for the sunset.

While listening to the soothing music, he strolled along the scientific research vessel, admiring the beautiful sunset.

As the sun set, the afterglow shone on Baiyun Lake, creating a picturesque scene.

A gentle breeze brushed against his face, bringing a hint of coolness, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

The lake surface sparkled, reflecting the evening clouds in the sky, like a brilliant and colorful painting.

Standing on the deck, the melodious music drifted into his ears, the moving melody was like heavenly music, making him intoxicated.

Closing his eyes, he felt the embrace of the gentle breeze, casting aside all the fatigue and pressure of the entire day.

At this moment, his mind was greatly relaxed, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

The distant mountains appeared exceptionally magnificent against the backdrop of the setting sun, they were like giant sculptures, silently guarding this beautiful lake.

The trees along the shore were lush and green, complementing the lake water, forming a natural and harmonious picture.

Unconsciously, the sun retracted its warmth.

The night grew deeper, and stars began to appear in the sky, twinkling with faint light.

Moonlight sprinkled on the lake surface, creating a layer of silver ripples, like a dream.

Such a peaceful and beautiful night made one unable to help but become immersed in it, forgetting all worries.

Chen Xiangbei came back to his senses, preparing to start his last work for the night.

Returning to the cockpit, he found the Chen Wen brothers drinking some wine, eating barbecue, and watching the latest TV series.

Seeing Chen Xiangbei return, Chen Wen quickly said.

"Brother, want a couple of sips?"

"No, I still have work to do later, you two drink."

"Alright then, remember to call us if you need anything!"

"No problem, you two get comfortable, I'm going to sail the boat to the next place."

After confirming that the two were not drunk, Chen Xiangbei started the boat and headed to the place where he last caught the Chinese sturgeon.

He wanted to go back and confirm a few things.

The first thing was to confirm if there were other Chinese sturgeon.

Because it's unlikely that only a single fish lives alone, unless the living environment is very harsh.

But the ecological environment of Baiyun Lake is famously good, so this condition is not met.

The second thing was to see if any other creatures had settled in that area after the Chinese sturgeon left.

The third thing was, he wanted to see if there were any other Starlight Fish, this was the most important purpose of his trip.

Because of the scarcity and mystery of the Starlight Fish, he became more and more fond of this extremely beautiful and rare fish species.

Baiyun Lake will soon prohibit fishing and angling.

So he wanted to search for traces of the Starlight Fish again.

The boat sailed for a while and arrived at the old home of the giant Chinese sturgeon.

Chen Xiangbei stopped the boat about 10 meters from the cliff edge, and then turned on all the lights around the hull.

He came to the deck and carefully observed the lake surface.

After watching for a long time, he still hadn't spotted any other fish.

He then began to walk around the boat to see if he could find anything in other directions.

But after walking a full circle, he still didn't see even a single fish.

For a more accurate answer, he ran back to the cockpit to check the sonar detector.

He turned the sonar power to maximum and stared intently at the scanning process.

But the result was unsatisfactory, showing no organisms except for the lake bottom terrain and depth.

He didn't believe it and came back to the deck again.

He took out a piece of Secret Bait from the bait box, threw it into the lake water, and quietly waited for the result.

Time passed by minute by minute.

At this moment, everything was silent, only the gentle evening breeze brushing across the lake surface made a slight rustling sound, and the occasional noisy sounds coming from the tablet, echoing and rising and falling.

Apart from this, there was no other sound around, as if the whole world had fallen into dead silence.

This return to the old place seemed to have given him an answer, and yet it seemed not to have given him an answer.

He returned to the cockpit feeling a bit disappointed.

Just as he was about to start the engine, the sonar display on the instrument panel emitted a prompt sound.

Chen Xiangbei quickly looked over and found that a red dot had appeared on the display, which had been as still as water.

His heart, which had calmed down, began to pound wildly again!

He grabbed the fishing rod next to him and rushed out.

He went to the direction where the mysterious creature was swimming from and prepared for fishing in advance.

Estimating the time, it should be appearing soon.

As expected, the water surface, which was as calm as a mirror, suddenly began to ripple, as if a mysterious force was awakening.

Immediately after, faint purple light rays gradually rose from the bottom of the water, like stars twinkling in the night sky, appearing and disappearing.

These purple lights became stronger and stronger, eventually converging into a dazzling band of light, like a purple ribbon dancing in the water.

Its unique color and agile posture intertwined and merged with the silver moonlight scattered on the water surface, forming a beautiful and dreamlike picture.

In this wonderful scene, everything around became exceptionally quiet and mysterious, as if time had frozen.

Chen Xiangbei was deeply shocked by the strange scene before him!

He gripped the fishing rod tightly, his heart beating faster and faster.

At the same time, he kept guessing in his heart, what exactly was emitting such brilliant light.
